Jamaica

Dunns River Falls were beautiful, but somehow I´ve got this out of order and can´t work out the Spanish editing language to get the photos back in order.

From Montego Bay airport we headed straight to our Jamaican all inclusive reosrt. This is the view from our room.The resort was a nice change from the cheap motels we´d been frequenting. But we decide after this to go back to bed and breakfast only because otherwise we tend to stay at the hotel and just eat and drink too much. Now we can leave the hotel, but stilleat and drinktoo much.

The view from the glass bottom boat back to Pebbles resort was pretty, but Drew foundthe glass bottom boat helped him to more than remember last night´s dark and stormy moments.

Having been warned by all and sundry not to use the unregistered taxis or public buses to travel to Dunns River Falls, of course, we did just that. Had a great trip on the very crowded bus and loved climbing up the falls.

At Negril we stayed at a clifftop hotel, with great views over to the sunset. The hotel had a free shuttle to its sister resort on the beachfront of seven mile beach. So once again we had to spend some time lazing on the beach and wandering up and down passing all the cheap beachfront bars and cafes. One night we went to a clifftop bar called Ricks cafe and enjoyed a quiet apperitif watching the cliff divers and the vast array of locals and tourists strut their stuff.

On a day trip from Negril, we visited Black River and took a boat ride to check out the wildlife. Crocodiles with no teeth, beautiful birdlife - unlike the beautiful birdlife witnessed on Negril beach. Then we toodled off to Ys falls and played in the water. Next we hopped on the bus and tried to take a short cut to the rum factory. The bus stopped and started and grunted and finally made it so we had many samples, as if we needed an excuse.

A typical scene in Jamaica.
